About this Modpack
A seamless fusion of mechanical mastery, arcane arts, and legendary progression.
Clockwork Sorcery was born from a desire to bridge the gap between complex engineering and high-fantasy RPG adventuring. Originally curated for a private group of friends, this pack has been meticulously tuned to ensure that the cogs of industry and the threads of magic work in perfect harmony.
🛠️ The Core Experience
Master the Machine
At the heart of the pack is Create 6.0. Build sprawling factories, automated trains, and intricate kinetic contraptions. Whether you are automating your resource gathering or building massive moving structures, the engineering possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
Wield the Arcane
Deepen your power with Ars Nouveau and Apotheosis. Design custom spells to solve world-space puzzles or dominate in combat. The magic system isn't just a side-quest; it is integrated into your progression, allowing you to enchant your gear and your world beyond vanilla limits.
The RPG Journey
Embark on a true adventure with the RPG Series, featuring specialized classes, better combat mechanics, and a revamped gear system. Explore a world reshaped by Tectonic and Terralith, filled with overhauled dungeons and structures from YUNG’s series that reward exploration with unique relics and powerful loot.

Immersive Atmosphere: With AmbientSounds, Distant Horizons, and custom shaders, the world feels alive and vast.
Plug-and-Play: Includes pre-configured resource packs and shaders to ensure the game looks beautiful from the moment you hit "Play."
FAQ
Q: Does Clockwork Sorcery support multiplayer?
A: If you want to play with a friend we recommend to use em4c that allows you to temporarily expose a local Minecraft server to the internet with a custom domain link provided. Other option is essentials. Similar to how you can invite a friend to play on your world similar to Bedrock.
A: A dedicated server-side version is currently in development and will be released following the approval of the main project.
Q: Recommended CPU?
A: At miniumum I recommend having at least an modern 6 core/12 thread cpu for single player or for an dedicated server computer with 16gb of ram. If you plan to host this on your own pc while also playing it I recommend a modern 8 core/16 thread cpu with 32gb of ram. The modpack it self utlizes 10gb. (More players more ram is needed).
Q: Recommended GPU?
A: At minimum an RTX 2060. (Buddy who plays on server is able to run with shaders enabled at a smooth framerate)

Frequently Asked Questions
Clockwork Sorcery server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong neoforge loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 8 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match. With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.
How much RAM does a Clockwork Sorcery server really need?
Minimum 6 GB, recommended 8 GB for stable performance. per 5 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €12/month).
Can I add custom mods to Clockwork Sorcery without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (neoforge) and same Minecraft version (1.21.1). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.
Clockwork Sorcery server lagging – performance tips
1) Increase RAM to 8 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time. With Mado Hosting, all servers run on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores – eliminating hardware as a bottleneck.
